I literally grewup on G.I. Joe. When I was a little kid, I hoped that it would still be around when I was an adult so that I could spend all of my own money (once I started making it) to buy as many G.I. Joes as I wanted (instead of begging parents). With the movie coming out, I had mixed feelings, just like with Transformers. This, however, is something else entirely. You've completed the circle between my childhood and adulthood. When do they pick this up for an entire season, and how much do they pay you to write it?

Impossible. ]]>

might only last one episode, but it'd be the end of the bastards for sure.

Thunderbirds - Not quite as bloodthirsty as later series, but in the very first episode Our Hero (Scott Tracy) does his best to kill somebody for taking pictures of his aircraft. Now, true, the photographer is actually master criminal The Hood, but Tracy doesn't know this; for all he knows the guy is the editor, photographer and sole proprietor of the East Goatdung Weekly Shopper and Hallelujah, with two kids and an asthmatic budgie, and he still strafes him off the road into a smoking crash (tm Century 21).

Captain Scarlet - Now we're getting down to it. An interplanetary war started by one Earthman with a panicky trigger finger. Multiple violent deaths almost every episode, not excluding the hero (who, of course, gets better.) Ron Embleton's paintings for the end title cards are absolutely gorgeous - and every one of them depicts Scarlet about to die horribly (dynamited, run over by a tank, drowned AND eaten by sharks, etc) and we know he's not going to get out of it, he's just going to come back to life after suffering every minute of pain.

Joe 90 - Fewer corpses, but most of them created by an eight-year-old boy with brain implants and live ammunition. Need I say more?

And actually, Captain Scarlet already WAS remade a few years back, in a CGI version which ran two seasons but which apparently almost no one saw - and took a more "mature" approach in that the stories had a lot more plot and characterization to go along with the Really Cool Tech And Explosions. It's pretty impressive, and very much in the same vein as we're seeing now with Resolute.

Which is damn good, by the way. My liking for the original GI Joe didn't last terribly long (with one or two exceptions), but this I'm enjoying. ]]>

The original was great too, though. Every so often Spectrum would fail dismally. Even as a kid I thought that was clever writing, because that, of course, meant you never really knew if the Mysterons would be thwarted every week.

I'm sure Warren has already discussed this elsewhere, so please forgive me for asking, but is there just going to be one series of GI Joe, or has he been asked to do more? Because for the first time in my life, I want to overdose on GI Joe cartoons. ]]>

I read an interview (and I think I book marked it, I'll edit this to add later so we can check my recall) with Mr. Anderson where he noted the south park team wanted him as a consultant on Team America, and other commitments prevented it. He saw the film, and felt the way the violence and sex was handled wasn't appropriate.

Now as you cited, Gary's not beyond such-- it's more a matter of how it's handled. And re-watching the CGI Scarlet right now-- yeah, the gulf between what Warren's doing with Resolute and that was a little bigger in my head. You are quite correct.

Which means now I REALLY want to see Warren tackle Scarlet or International Rescue.

For now, he's made GI Joe awesome. And I always found GI Joe and Transformers-- the afternoon time waster of choice at age 5-- to be fun, but never took either seriously. This makes it fun for me now, and not in the "omg I watched this as a kid did I not realize how silly it was let's mock it now" way. ]]>

Well, I haven't been asked to do more. Whether that means there's only one series, or another team developing another one, I do not know. I was a work-for-hire writer on this, and out of the loop the moment I turned in my final revisions. ]]>

Team America. And I also don't doubt that he'd be willing to work with a more mature writer - provided that the writer isn't so concerned with being postmodern that they turn the whole thing into a pisstake.

I confess I was being mildly ironic about Thunderbirds and Joe 90; I think the darker angles on those were truly unintentional on Anderson's part. Not so much Captain Scarlet (or the later live-action shows, or even Terrahawks - which isn't quite as much a kiddie show as it first appears.)

As I said, I wasn't a huge fan of the original GI Joe cartoon (which I didn't see until its release on video a year or so after it aired, so I would have been about 13)...but I wouldn't have bothered watching Resolute if I didn't have some affection for it, and I wouldn't be at all impressed if it was simply shredding the original. I am, and it's not.

So I think we're on the same page. Roll on Episode 4! ]]>

Great background on the Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow rivalry. Warren, how much of that was dictated by the license holders and how much was artistic liberty? I guess the same question could apply to the whole series. Did they just say: "Here's G.I. Joe. Run with it," or were there parameters in which you had to write?

I'm in wholehearted agreement with everyone who is reliving their childhood in a more grown-up, badass, and lethal incarnation here. At the end, Zartan materializes on the catwalk, and I breath out a suspenseful "Zartan" just before Duke does. You know... I remember searching like mad for that action figure when I was a kid. It featured cutting-edge, color change technology!!! OMG! Must Have!I'm really pleased with how recognizable all of the Joes are. And now, Dialtone! A 21st Century Joe, indeed.

Anyway... thanks again, Warren. If ever the opportunity arises, all the drinks are on me. ]]>

I mean, it started with a "you killed my master" note and ended with the same classic storyline. While that in and of itself didn't hit me as hard as it might have, the whole scene was gorgeous. The subtleties like the shockwave and the birds were just beautiful. It was only about a few hours later that I sat back and thought to myself "Holy crap! Twenty years of foreplay and we just saw the head Cobra Ninja get his skull scrambled." The weight of what that must be for dedicated fans (I'm only a semi-versed fan) must be huge.

I was curious about the lack of blood: decision from people who are expecting kids to see this or are they just too damn ninja to bleed?*/spoilers*

On the whole, Resolute is turning out to be just bloody awesome. I'm watching this after finally reading Crooked Little Vein and I'm impressed with something from both works: How good a grasp Warren has on American stereotypes, how to manipulate them and when to break them for good effect.

God I hope they let you do more of this. And for that matter... do He-Man next? ]]>

hell... at the very least, maybe they'll let him write the next x-script. collab with joss whedon too much to hope for? it could rip a whole in the very fabric of fandom!!! mass-nerdgasms cause the interwebs to implode! we all die happy.

@bjacques: can't lead in to the movie. movie's a reboot. destro isn't sporting the chrome head at the start.

which brings up another example of glaring ignorance from the youtube comment peanut gallery. the comments seem split between: "YES! Finally!" and "Why are they killing off so many main characters?!? (whine) (whine)" fortunately, this last category appears to be directing most of their hostility toward hasbro. my question is have they not paused to consider the meaning of the word "RESOLUTE" as the root of "resolution".

the Principle of Evil Marksmanship. They can't hit either main character despite being highly trained, outnumbering, surrounding and outgunning them..and the main characters are standing in a pile of fuel tanks. Conversely, Scarlett can pick em off while duel weilding handguns while being flung through the air upside down by an explosion of aforementioned fuel tanks.

Anyway, I've really enjoyed it, and without knowing much of the GI Joe back story, it looks like a couple of decades of GI Joe history have been resolved in the last few episodes. ]]>

@ Jeff Holland

what I love about Ellis's characters is their willingness to admit what they do not know, and their confidence that they can learn it if it's explained to them by experts.

this is the whole principle behind taking "A Master." like when Ralph Macchio asks Mr. Miyagi to "teach him how to sweep" in Karate Kid III. or when Dustin Hoffman learns hows to teach Jack Black in "Kung Fu Panda." ... or why "The Bride" sticks it out under the Cruel Tutelage of Pei Mei.

@StefanJ not that I know of.

@Neil Ofsteel Re:

One of my favorite G.I. Joe anecdotes is one of a very few episodes that I happen to catch in my "mature, adult phase" ... after having read Tom Wolfe's "Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test"

One episode of G.I. Joe plot features C.O.B.R.A. taking over a chemical plant and producing a "mind control" drug. The plant in question is called "Owlsley Chemical." Hail to The Chief. ]]>

Did they ever fight anybody other than Cobra?

Acually, yes. At one point a mad "toymaker" kidnapped Cobra Commander, Baroness, Flint and Lady J, then took them to his island fortress filled with robot "toys" and play "Most Dangerous Game" with them. Ultimately GIJOE and COBRA actually teamed up and launched a massive assault on the island to get their people back. It was quite a memorable episode for several reasons. First, a naked Lady J was boxed up by robot as she was changing clothes in a dressing room. Then the Baroness comforted (not in that way, you pervs) Lady J after Flint was apparently killed by a giant toy lawnmower and finally, both Joe and Cobra forces were surprisingly accurate with their weapons, since they were shooting at toy robots. ]]>

Past that, the good ol' Cobra Commander Comeuppance was pretty amusing. Great job. If they ask for more, please say yes.

@Warren: was that your choice, or someone else's? I guess I can imagine it being done out of an odd worry that some American audience members might get upset if their specific city was turned into a terrorist haven that had to get blowed up good, but I don't know. Just an odd quirk that gave me a chuckle.

Did you have any input into the costume designs?*edit* I just checked the Resolute official website and saw that Dan Norton was Lead Art Director. I loved his early Wildstorm stuff, I think I have the Black Ops series he did way back, and GI Joe was probably a natural fit for him.Did you write the script with specific Joes in mind, or for example did you just write a scene needing an explosives expert, so Tunnel Rat was used? ]]>

Nice to see Warren Ellis destroy a small American town and not Moscow for a change. (Although who deserves it better than Moscow? Kidding - the Russians are our "friends". )

Question to Warren - what was it like playing in the toy company sandbox? Did they send you toys? (Heh ... there's an image. Warren opening the box - "Toys? They sent me fucking toys? I SPECIFICALLY ASKED FOR WHISKEY!") Did They Mandate who got screen-time? Because I would've liked to see your take on those two creepy Cobra twin guys whose names escape me. Good job making the Baroness good'n'evil. Also, I never knew Destro was Scottish.

And when I was a kid, I had the GI Joe Space Capsule. Gave it to my cousin who's now stationed in Afghanistan, I believe. Wonder if he's still got it? (This was thirty-odd years ago. Not, like, last week or anything.)

When you say you have no idea about the "Honor return..." screen text in the final scene and what it means, is that because someone else inserted that in the script? In capable hands, I'd say it was a nice intentional "mistake"/mis-hearing by the voice recognition system, but if it wasn't you, I'm not sure.

You had stated that about 90% of your script remained intact in this series (which seems pretty high), so is the "Honor return..." part some of the 10% that got altered? Do you have any say past a certain point, or is it "Thanks, here's your check, fuck off, we'll call you when we need you again"? ]]>

It was nice to see the group shot of the Joe's during Duke's briefing.

I know not many are happy by the Duke/Scarlett angle, but I for one was THRILLED! Never read the comics so the cartoon (which I was a rabid fan) was my accepted cannon. As a girl I really have to thank you for writing Scarlett the way she was. Kickass, feisty and tech savvy. Not some insipid damsel in distress.

I loved how the partnership was written out as well. I'm not sure if it was your intention but to me it came across as; he’s the ‘brawn’ and authority while she’s the ‘brains’ and takes care of the technical details, type partnership. He’s not afraid to ask her input and in fact relies on it making her a valued member of the team.

So yeah. Thank you again. ]]>

The Marvel comic was great. I just recently purchased the first IDW trade collecting the original Marvel issues, which had issues #1-10, and while there were some 80s era comics cliches that came through in the stories that I wouldn't have noticed during my childhood (esp. over-expository dialogue/thought balloons), it's still really well-written. There's a lot of character development and interesting storylines, and I really liked that Warren's version of GI Joe acknowledged a lot of that worldbuilding originally done by Larry Hama in the comic. One significant difference I noticed was Storm-Shadow's overtly evil/anti-Snake Eyes attitude in "Resolute," which differs from what happened in the comic, since Storm-Shadow was really just using Cobra as a means to an end in the comic, and quit the organization by issue 40 or thereabouts.

Oh, and that reminds me, looneynerd, Cobra Commander's son actually didn't die--he turned up in the mid-30s of the comic book, hanging out with Storm-Shadow and working on some sort of revenge action against Cobra. There was a bunch of further conflict between he and Cobra Commander even later in the comic series, after some other high-level Cobra people (Serpentor being the main one, if memory serves) ousted him from command.

Are there any plans for a UK broadcast? I'd like to see it in full resolution, with proper sound. ]]>

Warren I will give you one hundred of the Earth dollars to travel back in time and write a decent script for this movie. Because there are times when a childhood memory, beloved or otherwise, must be violated. But said memories should be violated with style.

This trailer doesn't make 'em scream. It barely even makes them whimper. ]]>

I will go so far as to say that movie Destro will be better than Warren's Resolute Destro.

I feel like an ass for saying that, but for one, I'm hopeful that some good comes of this otherwise hopeless adaptation, and secondly, dude, that's Destro. You can't just ping a RPG off his steel head and call it a day. Destro deserves a background, man.

I would watch the shit out of Destro: Origins. Fanboy. Nuff said. ]]>

@ agentarsenic: In the next film, Transformers: Bad Touch they redo the scene with the swimming pool, the giant robot, and the little girl. ]]>

I got deja vu with Tunnel Rat taking down the satellites, apparently Larry Hama is on the Global Frequency. (I have a G.I. Joe friend and apparently the 1980s Tunnel Rat figure was modeled after Joe creator/writer Larry Hama).
